Latest in Attractions & City Living

Each year about this time, they begin to descend upon our town, like an army of dumbstruck, digital camera clickin' zombies. Of course, we're talking about tourists. And there's a reason they come here — we've got attractions galore. But our city is about more than entertaining ghouls from Ohio. It's a place where folks work and play. Most importantly, it's a place where people live. And that's precisely why the living dead envy us. Especially Yankees.

Yeah, North Charleston is the seventh most dangerous city in the U.S. And it kind of smells a bit like farts from a chemo patient. And depending on where you live, there might not be a grocery store — decent or otherwise — within a mile of your house. But hope is not lost for North Chuck. Nope. There's Olde North Charleston in Park Circle, a little strip of restaurants, shops, and businesses that has a real small-town feel to it. Within a few blocks, you'll find an Irish pub (Madra Rua), a pizza parlor (EVO Pizzeria), a barbecue place (the newly opened Barbecue Joint), a hip little coffee house (Park Circle Coffee), a brand new bar (The Chart), a good ole watering hole (The Mill), and, just a ways away, a burger joint (Sesame). Who knows, in a few years, the Lowcountry could have its very own Little Five Points.
